"Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world'. But in the Sermon on
the Mount he also said to his followers, 'You are the light of
the world'. So, what he said for himself, he also said for us.
Light is heavenly fire, a spark of which dwells within us as our
spirit, and if, from this spark, we gradually succeed in
illuminating our whole being, we will possess the same powers
and bring the same blessings as does light. There is no point
claiming to be Christian, a disciple of Christ, if you do not
work to achieve what Jesus himself achieved to be able to say,
'I am the light of the world'.
Of course, anyone can claim, 'I am the light of the world', but
if they haven't first done the work that would give them the
right to say these words they expose themselves to grave danger.
Why, yes, many people considered insane doubtless possess an
intuition of their true divine nature, but it isn't enough to
have this intuition and broadcast it to everyone. They have to
try to make it a reality and, in the meantime, remain humble and
work."
